Onwards and upwards... Starting Module 2

 I can't believe the blog I am about to write is about starting Module 2?!

The last time I blogged I had just completed my first draft of my Module 1 essay and I hadn't even started my diagram - it's safe to say that my work/life balanced took a huge hit at the end of last year and every time I thought about sitting down to blog or read what other people were sharing, something else came up.

This is something I am actively looking to change throughout Module 2 so as they say... onwards and upwards!

The open discussion from Wednesday morning was the first I have ever been able to make - usually I work full days but with the current lockdown I have been lucky enough to have a little bit of extra time. 

The discussion group was mainly made up of Module 1 and 2 students with a few Module 3 students which was an absolute godsend! I think I speak for every Module 2 students when I say anytime someone asks a question I would find myself staring through the screen at the Module 3 guys praying they would be the ones to answer - the beholders of all knowledge. 

*I know this course isn't about finding the 'right' answer and that we should be trusting the process but everyone like to know there on the right path every now and then.

We talked about of the IDEA OF RESEARCH

Now I'm sure were all guilty of scribbling down bits and pieces of what is said during these discussion and the by the time it gets to reading through them I have no idea what they mean or what I was trying to take note of.

*Clearly I thought it was a good idea at the time, but I also have the memory of a sieve 

So I have decided to take some time to do my own research on the topic and hopefully this will refresh my memory and things will make more sense!

To be continued...

    Welcome back! I was exactly the same, I wrote a blog when I handed my draft submission in in Module one and then disappeared off the scene, spending all my uni time to actually complete the uni work rather than be on the blogs. My aim is to also be better on the blogs this term, but the juggle between deadlines and other jobs, it can definitely be a struggle! Look forward to hearing more on your research. Rhi xx

Data collecting - what now?

After what felt like a never ending process I have finished collecting data in the form of interviews and like all things BAPP related I feel like I have more questions than I do answers...  Usually this would leave me on the verge of a breakdown however I am taking this feeling in my stride, my approach to learning has changed over the course of the BAPP programme and I know that there is no black or white answer, every line of inquiry in this course is always going to leave me with more questions. Although I tried my absolute hardest to go into this inquiry without any assumptions it was going to be near impossible, after all, I chose the topic of inquiry so I must have had some pre existing thoughts or feelings towards my inquiry focus which was 'does career transition exist in dance?' I did however make several observations during my interview that as I delve into the literature further could evolve into potential themes… Injury    Job sustainability/Consistent employ...

Redrafts and artefacts

 You would think by now I would have realised how quickly the time flys in the last couple of weeks of the module! Going from feeling rather relaxed about my report to getting my draft back and also working on my artefact has sent me into another whirlwind spiral! My biggest concern with my report is getting the word count down! I know it's better to have too much than not enough but I was already cutting it close and now I know it's going to be a challenge in itself! The feedback on my draft was incredibly helpful and has left me with a lot of things to consider about my inquiry. I really can't believe this time last year I was working on my module one dreading having to write a 5000 word report in module 3 and now I am fully embracing the entire process. I've made a good start with my artefact and now its a case of fine tuning the small details to really reflect my inquiry and the individuality of the process itself! Presentations aside there will be a huge sense of r...

Module 3 Submission

Firstly a massive CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who has submitted their work and to those still working - you've got this! Submitting my work for the final time last week felt amazing! Looking back at my journey from module one I can't believe I'm actually here (I remember sneaking a peak at the module 3 handbook when we first started, seeing the 5500 word report and just thinking - no thank you!) My absolute biggest challenge and similarly to others blogs I have read was the word count. Someone once said to me it's better to have too much than not enough but actually I found this harder! For me it would have been easier to pad the report out with more detail but after re drafting my overview and analysis I was already at 6500 words - and that was without my introduction, literature review and reflection! It took me longer than anticipated to amend my word count without losing any of the analysis and reflection that I had discovered during the inquiry process. Eventuall...
